WINDOVI OR DOOR SCREEN.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANNIE MILLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Matador, in the county of Motley and State of Texas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Window or Door Screens,of which the following is a specification.

My invention is a screen applicable alike to windows and doors, and myobject is to provide a light and durable screen which will be easy toafliX in a desired position and which will be made to occupy a minimumof space when not in use.

In the accompanying drawing illustrating my improved screen, Figure 1 isan elevation thereof, and, Fig. 2 is a central vertical sectional viewtherethrough.

In the practical embodiment of my idea, I provide a screen comprising aframe 10, formed of wire of sufficient weight and strength to retain itsshape when handled with reasonable care, while elastic to a degreesuliicient to permit of its being rolled up when removed from a window,or when being transported, whereby it may occupy a minimum of space.This frame may, of course, be of any suitable shape or size, to suit therequirements, and over it is stretched the screening material 11, whichmay be of any suitable character, the edges of the screening beingsuitably bent about, and se- Specification of Letters Patent.

cured to, the frame, wire 10. Along the frame wire 10 are suitablysecured, to 6X tend outwardly therefrom, fastening tabs in the form ofwire loops 12, these being placed sufliciently close together to insurethe frame of lying flat against the Window casing or door frame, as thecase may be when the same is secured in position by headed tacks or thelike through loop 12. From this it will be seen that a screen as thusconstructed may be cheaply transported, quickly and easily attached inposition without necessitating any amount of skill, quickly and easilyremoved without destroying any portion thereof, and rolled and bundledup when removed so that it requires a minimum of storage space.

I claim:

A screen comprising a rectangular frame formed of flexible wire,screening material having its edges bent about and secured to said frameon all sides, and fastening eyes formed of wire and rigidly secured toand outstanding from said frame at spaced intervals along all sidesthereof.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature inpresence of two Witnesses.

ANNIE MILLER.
